Poverty I'm Washington.

There is a large class of men in Washington
who are in most impecunious condition and
who make heavy drafts upon the purses and
patience Of those with whom they manage TO

tated out of official duties, which has untitled
them fo.. any other business Others imagine
that the party in power owes them an Office

claims which. if allowed, would make them
wealthy. but all wait, and il has been truth

were as large and as representative rs

"Mugys Landing" was success from
the start. When the curtain rose At the

The play is all it is represented to be,
and every role is well sustained. There
is not a bad part in it, and Messrs. Nc
Dowell as Beck, tie Land Agent Scott as
Cooer johnson. and Furlong as So DO66s,
merit special mention. All the scenic
effects were good. The songs were
doubly enc0red, and the music incidental
TO the plav as well as the overtures was
excellent. Never have two more satls-

THE MoONSHlNERs' ANCESTORS.
A Speculation Upon the Origin of the
Rude Mountaineers.

Rude Mountaineers.
The origin of the mountaineers that in
habit the ranges from Virginia to Al kansas
is q subject that might tempt the curiosity of
a serious historian The vestiges of the early
population, and of some of the singular cpl
sodic inroads that accompanied the steady
flow of English colonization, are still plainly
perceptible. From the semi-ducal plantations
Of the kings favorites in Virginia and the
Carolinas many of those unfortunate or
criminal wretches who were transported from
the mother country to be penal slaves in the
fields OF heartlesS, and mostly absentee, mas
tiers, escaped into the refuge of the noun
tains, and. animated by despairing hope OF
freedom, sought the most inaccessible hiding
places.
To the escaped convict, trembling under
the remembrance of a masters lash and will
ing to dare any native danger 10 escape the
slavery he bad fled, the approach of another
refugee was as full of terror as OF comfort
The runaway felon could trust nobody; or
perhaps, he had brand upon his forehead to
hide from cuyiOus eyes, and wherever he made
his home it was kept remote from nelShOor-
ship, and made as uninviting as possible TO
adventurous or suspicious eyes. There IS
little doubt that among the first settlers Of
the mountains were these British convicts
sold into slavery to tho American plantations,
and condemned TO life Of laborious servi-
sude, which they only escaped by such hard
ships as could tempt no free man. The free
pioneer and the woodsman pushed on across
the mountains or through the passes and
cleared for himself an empire and garden in
fertile Kentucky and middle Tennessee, or
sought the softer air and cotton lands OF the
Southern states The escaped convict was
afraid TO venture in either direction, lest he
should rush into the hands Of former master
or overseer, who would identify and re-enslave
him.
So, with that last instinct for personal free
dom that has always possessed the Caucasian
race in every land, he chung to the mountains
of his refuge, secure in his solitude and get
ting his peace in the impregnability of his re-
treat 1t was, perhaps, an inherited instinct,
therefore, that made the mountaineers hate
negro slavery as bitter as the most determined
aboltionists of the north, and which led them
by force of fate TO join the Union armies
when the civil war came on. The mountain
regions not only furnished the northern armies
thousands of soldiers but also maintained
warm sympathy for the cause in the rear and
front of the Union lines, and it is not slngu-
lar. perhaps, that they have continued in
sympathy with the Republican party as in
stinctively as has the emancipated negro

Consumption Cured by Car Platform.

"You see this car platform" inquired one
passenger of another on an Illinois Central
suburban train. well, that platform cured
me of consumption ard saved my life You
think that's strange. don't yOul Well, it is a
little strange, but it's fact. You see, come
of a consumptive family. Ny mother died Of
consumption, sister and two brothers, and
year ago expected TO go in the same way.
Don't look like 1t now, do IL Well, all thanks
are due to this platform. 1t was in this way:
As soon as saw that | was going down |
made up my mind to take some desperate
means Of salvation. | wasn't financially able
to 90 TO California, or 10 travel anywhere
except TO and from my work. So | did the
next best thing Every morning in riding
into town stood out on the platform, and,
drawing long breaths, filed my lungs full of
the fresh air from the lake.
AT first | couldn't inhale much, but by
and by my lungs gathered strength, respira-
tory cells that had -ong been unused began 70
open and admit natures life giving oxygen,
and in a few months | was surprised at my
own strength and good health, as were my
friends Four times a day-for | rode home
TO dinner and back again. stood on the
platform and inhaled as much of the air as
possible. The weather made no difference 10
me-rain, cold, snow, blzzard-for more than
a year haven't sat down in railway coach.
Now | can draw longer inhalation than any
man I know, and long inhalation simply
means filling with air all of the cells Of the
lungs. bringing the whole system into service,
as it were--and have no more fear Of con
sumption. People who work indoors, and
who never, under ordinary circumstances,
get their lungs more than half filled with air,
had better try my prescription. 1t is won

Funeral of Colonel william +. Munford.

The funeral of Colonel William p.
Munford, whose death occurred Monday
afternoon, will take place to-day at II
o'clock from the First Presbyterian
church.
There should be an imposing demon
stration of respect on this occasion. No
man ever labored more earnestly for the
good of every class, creed, or condition
than this lamented deceased. OF him it
may be truly said that he made the world
better for having lived in it. His labors
among the lowly, the friendless, and the
sorrowing will never be forgotten; and the
heart of Richmond will long mourn him
as one OF the best sons she ever reared.
Let this funeral to-day be testimonial
worthy of his exalted character.

LONDON, Oct. 1s-A deputation of un-
employed workingmen went to the Man
sion house and demanded that they be
supplied with work. The board of Al
dernen referred them to the work
house. When the deputation reported
the result of their mission to
those who had sent them, the mob be-
came Infatuated and marched toward the
city. The mob proceeded without COM
hitting any overt act until the strand was
reached, when they turned upon the po-
lice and attacked them with stones. The
police charged upon the mob and scat
tered them, capturing a number of
banners. The mob then returned to
Trafalgar square; several of the leaders
made speeches which had the effect of ex-
citing the crowd. The police again made
charge, and after some resistance sue
ceeded in clearing the square. After a
time the mob, which had now gained some
reinforcements, attempted to again enter
the square, but after IL general fight, they
were prevented from doing 50 by the po-
lice. Several police were injured. Nine
arrests were made. Much trouble is an
ticipated during the winter, if some relief
is not afforded the homeless. .

Trying to Finish the Work.

MINNEAPOLIS, Oct. 20.-The Knights
of Labor assembly seemed resolved to
bury its differences in an effort to reach
adjournment.
Routine work occupied the principal
portion of the session. Reports from the
strike committee were received, and the
law committee resumed its report max
ing various recommendations, some of
which were defeated by the ''antis."
A pleasant episode at the closing of
the session was the presentation by Mrs.
Lenora Barry, Oh behalf of the assembly,
Of fine crayon portrait of the general
master workman to Mr.. Powderly for his
wife.
In the afternoon large amount of
business Of miscellaneous character ives
was transacted. An expression of SYM
